Warming the feet is one of the easiest and most effective ways to help the body. What makes the feet so special? There are 6 channels that run through your feet: Liver, Gallbladder, Spleen, Stomach, Kidney, and Bladder. One quarter of the body’s bones are in the feet, and over 72,000 nerve endings. Your feet are considered the body's roots in TICM. This also correlates to the feet's relationship with the Kidneys. The Kidney system is responsible for our life force energy (Qi both inherited and cultivated), several key Kidney acupoints are located on the bottom of the feet and on the inside of the ankles. We say that the Kidneys start in the feet. There are no coincidences. The temperature of your feet is related to the temperature of your womb. The Kidneys are responsible for your reproductive organs. We say but stimulating/warming the feet we bring our energy home. When Qi is flowing freely, and the body is warmed, Blood also flows the same. This leads to better physical and emotional health, better metabolism, and immunity. If you suffer from any reproductive issues warming the organs are beneficial. Keep your feet warm through foot soaks, grounding on warm grass, sand or on the Earth and sunlight.
